Maclaren techno has adjustable handles which go reasonably high

Hi there Wolfgirl,

The M&P Pliko has extendable handles - I presume that's about the best you'll get height-wise, unless you go for a 3-wheeler with an adjustable handle.
As for the colour, I suggest ordering from somewhere other than the UK - Germany for instance hasn't caught onto the grey buggies trend and you can get nice ones on Ebay - much cheaper too, even including the postage.
Have a look at
this one as an example.

I am 6'1" - do not get the M&P Pliko. Even with adjustable handles, it killed me pushing it. I was stooped over, and as I have long legs (and therefore take generous steps) I was forever stepping on the back wheels and falling over!!

I have tried many many buggies, and the only one worth having is the Maclaren Techno. They have launched a Maclaren Techno Classic in a dark orange. That is perhaps the most colourful you will get...

Hi all, have now been advised to try the Babydan Stockholm - the reviews are fantastic, so looking for a cheap secondhand one of those. Ebay selling a few at the mo, so with a few prayers shot in the right direction....

Morning Wolfgirl - no, I have never heard of the Babydan stockholm. Shame - I was forever looking for the perfect buggy!!

My youngest is 4 now, so we are way past the buggy stage.
I hope you find what you are looking for!

The Techno XLR comes in chocolate with pink harness and hood lining this year - rather cool - also tan with orange bits.

Agree the stripey Stockholm is indeed funky though.
